About Afton

Our Story

What's in the name Afton?Afton in Swedish means 'end of the day', or 'evening'. Our garments are made to keep you feeling fresh and invigorated through the end of your day!

Over 30 years of serious compression experienceAfton is a family company and have been involved with compression for over 30 years. It started out when our dad, a doctor in Southern California, gave compression stockings to patients after leg surgery to help the healing process. We've seen and heard about every benefit and drag about them, so we decided to make our own.

From the hospital to the storefront

As children, we would put band aids on patients and have seen firsthand the difference compression can make. Through the family practice, we have been around compression our entire lives and have heard just about every praise and critique about them.

We full time, commute/travel often, and exercise at least a few times a week. There simply wasn’t a pair of socks available that fit our active, fun, and healthy lifestyles, so we decided to make our own.

Our product philosophy

When developing the products jointly, there were a few key principles that we had to nail:

1: The products had to provide genuine health benefits and functionality based on science.

2: The products had to be high quality in manufacture and materials, with tasteful and fun designs.

3: The products had to be made in an ethical and clean way.

We have developed a line that we feel comfortable and proud to bring to you that satisfies all three conditions without compromise. Our biggest hope is that you live a happy, healthy, active lifestyle and never have to worry about getting leg disease. And while compression socks are only a part of your path of wellness, we feel privileged to help you on that journey.

What our products offer

Our socks deliver the full range of benefits: exceptional functionality tailored to your needs with outstanding designs you can wear in a variety of occasions. In our socks, we hope that you will look and feel spectacular, today and in the long term.

Trust Afton to care for your legs so you can focus on the more pressing matters of your day.
